Stephen Foster Antique Tractor and Engine Show

4/1/17Saturday @ 9:00 AM

Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park will host the 29th Annual Antique Tractor and Engine Show on March 30, 31 and April 1, 2017. Antique tractors and farming equipment reflecting 200 years of rural American history will be on display.

Demonstrating the craftsmanship and durability of American farm machinery, the show’s participants will operate working equipment and compete in tractor races. Visitors will be able to watch demonstrations of wheat threshing, shingle milling, corn grinding and unusual engines for everyday purposes. Exhibits will include collections of flywheels, hit and miss engines, water pumps, vintage pedal tractors, antique cars and farm equipment.

Tractor Pulls, Games, Raffles and more! Children can participate in pedal-powered tractor races, an old-fashioned game of needle-in-a-haystack or a rooster-crowing contest.

Food concessions will include root beer floats, hamburgers and hot dogs, barbecue and kettle corn. On Saturday morning, an antique tractor parade will feature everything from customized lawn tractors to restored farm machinery. Admission to the public is $5 per vehicle with up to eight passengers.
